The Prophet ﷺ said:

مَنْ حَفِظَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ عُصِمَ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ

Man hafiza 'ashra ayatin min awwali suratil-kahfi 'usima minad-Dajjal

Whoever memorises ten verses from the beginning of Sūrat al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjāl.

Another narration says "from the end of al-Kahf". Also seek refuge in Allah from the trial of the Dajjāl after the final tashahhud of every prayer (see readings 55 and 56).
